committee that the machine which I had provided for the Geneva 
trial, from being delayed on the way from Chicago, did not arrive in 
time for the trial, and in consequence of which an ordinary one had 
to be taken—which might not have been an average working ma¬ 
chine, and which same machine I supposed would be required at 
Utica —I regret that, while, the workmanship in it, as I understand, 
was made a ground of objection, the explanation was not given. I 
also regret, that, while at the firslt rial of mowers , the teeth of the sick¬ 
le were raked off by the stones on the surface of the ground as fast 
as. the sickles could lie put in place, for an obvious reason [explained 
to the committee, as I understand]—the “ fingers,” or guards to the 
sickle edge being so wide apart as to let the stones to the edge, while 
others were closer together—and mine will be hereafter—not having, 
myself, previously thought of cutting grass on stony ground, as that 
was—1 regret, I say, that some explanation of this had not been made 
by the committee, instead of charging all to the fragile construction 
of the machine! 
With ihe expression of one other regret at this lime, I conclude ; 
and that is, that the committee, like your reporter , did not, as they 
at one time proposed to do, enlighten the public as to the character or 
claims to novelty and utility, of the several machines exhibited— 
which might , in some cases, have prevented imposition upon the pub - 
lie. Very respectfully your obedient serv’t. C. H. McCORMICK. 
P. S.—Since the foregoing was written, 1 have been informed that 
a member of the said committee who attended the trial at Geneva, 
and was prevented by sickness from attending the Utica Fair, (where 
the awards were made up,) was “surprised” at the awards made, 
and was decidedly of the opinion that my Reaper was entitled to the 
first premium. But more anon. C. H. McC.

Cranberry Vines. 
r |MIE variety cultivated mostly in New-England are hardy andpro- 
JL lific. 
They can be raised on upland, on rather moist loam—but do the 
best on low, damp or moist meadow land, with a little sand put 
around the plant. 
They may be planted out to 2 feet apart, each way. 
Two feet apart, it will take 10,000 plants to the acre; if on low 
ground, it should be pared, plowed, or burnt over, to take out the 
grass or weeds, and cultivated for one or two years, until they cover 
the ground. The yield after that is from 150 to 250 bushels per acre. 
Also, all kinds of Trees, Plants. Ac. For sale by F. TROW¬

CONICAL MILL. 
TMPORTANT TO FARMERS.—Oaklands, near Geneva, 2Sih 
L August, 1852. Mr. Chas. Ross—Dear Sir: In reply to your lelter 
of the 25th instant, it is a pleasure to speaki n commendation of your 
Patent Conical Mill, to me it has proved valuable for grinding food 
for my stock, as a few hours labor with this machine, prepares food 
sufficient for fifteen head of com's for several days. 
The Mill used by me prepares food for horses, sheep, and swine, 
grinding, and mixing corn, oats, and other grain satisfactory. It has 
also produced for my family use, our Indian meal, buckM'heat meal, 
and occasionally n heat flour, thus saving the time of learns and men 
which otherwise must have been occupied, going several miles to a 
distant mill, at much expense—it is therefore a source of economy, as 
M r ell as an inducement to a better care of all stock—it affords, also, 
one among other resources for convenient and useful labor during 
stormy M'eather—my belief is that your mill M'ill work its way into 
general use upon farms where stock is raised, and wdiere grist mills 
are not within a short distance. 
Tn my estimation, litis mill is among the most important machines 
offered to the farmer. Respeclfully yours, J. DELAFIELD. 
N. B.—The Conical Mill has been in use by Mr. Del afield on his 
farm, for nearly four years. 
Any further information relative to the Conical Mill, can be ob¬ 
tained by letter, post paid, or by calling at the factory of
